method® hopes to raise awareness of the importance of reusing plastic, by packaging their dish + hand soap in containers made from a blend of recovered ocean plastic and post-consumer recycled plastic. And get this – all of the plastic used to make the bottles was collected by method® employees!

As providers of private yacht charter vacations, we know the importance of everyone doing their part – no matter how small that role might be. Our company President, Jana Sheeder, often reminds the 1-800 Yacht Charters team of the starfish parable:

– The Boy and the Starfish –

A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he drew nearer he noticed that the boy kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water.

Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean.

As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water.

The man asked the boy what he was doing, the boy replied, “I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. “But,” said the man, “You can’t possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can’t possibly make a difference.”
